Nice Read Hank!! Hope Adams is watching this Florida series and seeing what a goalie can do for you.

I drag KA every morning on WGR if we don't have a professional starting goalie next season. Why on Earth would he lowball Linus when we took on dead money players just to make the floor? Linus looks like Hasek next to the crap we saw in net this season, and, yes, that includes Anderson who sucked too.

There are way too many good goalies available to start geriatrics or nobodies.

Lots of maybes, what ifs and speculation.

Let's see what he does.

Subban is fine for Rochester and I have zero issue if KA re-signs him for that role and that role only.

Laval's got a older team, plus Primeau has been really good when called upon, which wasn't nearly enough. Good growing experience for the youngins.

Obviously we’ll never know if UPL would have made any difference but I’d have liked to see how he performed under playoff pressure. We know what Dell is.

Yeah that team dealt with a lot of adversity. Reading a story that they were moving players around so much because of injuries and call ups that from the last few games of the season into the playoffs they had 13 different players play. Think they said they only played like 4gms all year with the same lineup.

And yet they decided not to play one of their regular defenseman until tonight.

Strange decision making, especially when they've been dressing 7 D.

R2 scored again. Krebs 10th assist (I think he makes a big leap next year).

Going to be tough sledding for anyone to beat Tampa. Methinks I'll be cashing my bet before the Cup final starts. Just like the original Edmonton dynasty lost to the Islanders in 83, we may see them lose in 22 before beginning their own run in 23.

Really hope they give Rusto a shot, and Krebs eyes are everywhere.

U did a blog on Subban? Lol
Is he a hot topic on whether or not to keep him?

Sign him as the 3/4 goalie & put him in Rochester
Or bring someone else in for that role,
whatever

I brought him up a week or so ago
Seems unhappy with Minny & should be cheap to acquire
Could be an ok Vet to fill the “1a” role while we see what UPL has got (if he can stay healthy)
